Ok so i have an auto ka that had been rebuilt , sleeved +.20 and nothing else, ive had to move my dizzy almost fully to the right to where my car has to idle at almost 1500 rpm, i noticed if i move my dizzy towards the middle where its supposed to be stock when i come to an idle at a stop my oil pressure goes down to about 20 psi and is really hard and heavy trying to take off from there until it reaches 50 ,60 psi the car drived normally. My dizzy turned to right idles on neutral around 1500 rpm and has atleast 50 or 60 psi but when im on drive and i come to a stop it drops to around 30 but isnt as hard to take because its bounces up to 60 with a little gas. i just wanna know why my car is doing that can someone shine some light on me?

Why are you associating oil pressure, ignition timing, idle rpm with drivabilty?
That sounded stupid, but you should set base idle and timing then move on to oil pressure then drivabilty. KA timing should be 20dbtc unless otherwise stated by tuner or preference, but left alone once set, just check and verify periodically. Oil pressure once at operating temp 20psi is fine at idle, in most cases it get lower when hot. So is the tps set correctly? Idle is definitely wrong in my book, but you might prefer to idle at 1500rpm! But the answer to your question is, your engine is setup wrong! Get a timing light and a fsm!
